All my cards are A2 size (5 1/2 x 4 1/4) so with a 8 1/2 x 11 paper, you
can make two cards.

alcohol inks, I used red pepper,

Welcome to my "Strawberry Patch"

Hi,

My name is Barbara Bird.

As you can see by my title, I kinda like strawberries. I am also a Winnie the Pooh lover. I love to scrapbook and make cards, I have also started to do some albums and altered items. I am a Close To My Heart consultant ( this is my fourth year ) we do a get together once a month. I love their stuff and was so impressed that this year they lowered alot of their prices because of the economy.

I love this artistic outlet and have met so many great ladies that have become great friends.......don't know what I would do without them. Glad you came and hope to make alot more scrapping friends.

I am so excited about being on the Gecko Galz Design Team .... I love all the vintage images that we get to work with. Go over and check them out at www.geckogalz.com !
